How to Spot Fake Psychics

Getting psychic readings can help you find answers and can help heal a hurting heart. However many scams and fake ploys run about to take away your money. These people do not care about what the person is going through and would rather go about and scam another just to make money.

Psychics scams have been prevalent since the dawn of time. There are many psychics who are true and help their clients for a reasonable amount, but others would victimize people by telling them about being cursed or asking for more money for illegitimate services.

So how do you know if a psychic is legit or not?

Legit Vs. Fake Psychics

Psychics have been around since the dawn of time. They are lightworkers who have dedicated their lives into helping others find peace and clarity. However, there are many scammers out there who are willing to put up an act to rip off people.

Many times their act is so real and believable that they are able to take a lot money from unsuspecting patrons.

Reputation – A good psychic will have a good reputation. He or she will have testimonials coming from different types of people. Many would say that his or her readings are very intuitive and came true.

Word of mouth is a good way to know if a psychic can be trusted. If or she does face to face readings, then you can ask previous clients or people you know who’ve had readings with that psychic. If this is a person online, check their profile. Check how long the site has been there. Check reviews not just from that same site but from other sites as well.

Fake or fly by night psychics would pop up, make a lot of smoke and then disappear. They may also claim that they are the best. They may put up super good yet fake testimonials on their site. Better look for third party reviews to make sure that that site is reputable.

Curses, Spells and Negative Energies – A lot of legit readers would try to look at both the positive or negative sides of a reading. However fake psychics normally would tell you that there is a spell or a curse cast on you. They would then ask you for money to remove the curse.

They may say that you have a lot of misfortune, which you may agree to but nothing to do with a spell being cast on you. However they would use your agreement to their statement as a bate to make you shell out money.

Intuitive or Fishing for information – Some psychics who are frauds would want to fish for information just for them to make their so called readings sound real and true. They will use general statements and ask you to elaborate on your situation. By this they can make their readings revolve around your own statements.

Legit psychics can work on just your energy. They can know about you just by giving really basic information without going too much into detail. Basically they connect to your energy and ask their guides for help to answer your questions.

Cold Readings – Cold readings are readings that are just thrown at you. These are just over generalized reading. Some of them are based on templates and common advise. Real psychics prefer to give emphatic and intuitive readings.

Refund guarantee – A true psychic will honor a money back guarantee because he or she is confident enough that her readings are real and thus would have minimal refunds. On the other hand fake ones would not allow refunds and would be uncontactable when they have gotten your money.

What to Do When You’ve Been Scammed?

If you were unfortunate and had gotten scammed you need not lose hope and lose faith with all psychics. But you need to learn how to differentiate a legit psychic from a fake one.

1. Write a bad review – Warn others to avoid trusting that psychic again. Spread the word. Even if you can’t get your money back, at least you can help others by warning them.

2. Don’t give too much money – If you have already given some money and this person is asking a lot more, stay away! Don’t allow the fake psychic to take more money if you feel that this person is doubtful

3. File a police report – If this person is asking for exorbitant fees or harassing you, you better report him or her to the police.

There Are Many Good Psychics

Remember that in any field, there will be real practitioners and frauds. It does not mean that some are untrustworthy that everyone is a scammer. Don’t be disheartened by a reading not coming true.

Also remember that time and space maybe relative. Things may change due to your willpower and the willpower of the others around you. As long as the psychic is not a scammer or a hudlum you should give them the benefit of the doubt.

Don’t accuse everyone of being a fake. Don’t ask for lottery numbers. Remember to also trust your instincts.
